Bumping Up The Ads
Here’s a quick note for all of our current advertisers. We’ve decided to change a couple of things around. Don’t worry, some of you are just going to get more bang for your buck.
Currently the 10 300×250 spots receive about 40k impressions per month each. We’re gonna bump this up to 80k because now they will also get featured in the second post. How much extra do we want for it? Nothing, nada, zilch — compliments of the house. The price remains $75 per month. There’s a few spots left so let us know if you want one.
The sidebar 140×140 buttons will also remain at the same price. For $125 you get featured there for a full month. Want to reserve a spot? Email us.
The text link ads seem to have gone up a little since last month. This is controlled by the people at TLA because we trust them to give our advertisers a good deal. $24 per text link per month. Some people wrote about their findings and we seem to be the best value for money according to their posts. (e.g The Make Money Online dot Net and Jerry Khoo) All you need to do is sign up with Text-Link-Ads and grab one of the four spots that just became available.
Our RSS readers have seen the RSS ads we use. Currently we’ve got 3 advertisers in there, but with our RSS readership reaching nearly 600, we’ve decided to open up 2 more spots at $25 per month. That’s 5 in total and if you want to grab one, just shoot us an email giving us the URL and link text (180 chars max).
And here’s a photo of our new setup, requested by a few of you guys. We love it!
On the main screen we can view a full 1024 site and have a full document next to it. The 19 inch on the left is where we’ve got a feed reader running, our email and IM also goes there. And that new keyboard? BEST EVER! If you can, grab one. Its a delight to type on. Everything goes quicker and we make less typos.

cool setup guys!! what kind of keyboard is that??? looks flat….
Can please show a close up pic of that key board? Doesn’t look like a keyboard at all…
That’s an incredible keyboard,definitely on my must have list.
The 19″ on the left looks so small compared to the other one!
Nice to see that you have such traffic that you can sell sponsored links.
Graphically your blog puts the bar very very high!
I’m jealous! Contest for one of those?
Cool setup! Can’t wait to get myself an iMac.
You need a bigger desk
a bigger desk would be cool, does the new iMac also run that 19″ monitor?
nice to see the macbook tucked underneath…
also, like the look of the new comments country, os & browser shown, what plugin are you using?
cool set up but likes like some kids room or something. i guess it gets the job done right. thats what matters. awesome screen.
Hey Cow, love the setup you have there..Macs are great..gonna go check out that keyboard now.
I played with those keyboards, they are pretty sweet, and like 1cm thick LoL. Looks like you’re doing well for quiting your job.
Nice setup, way better than mine.
what kind of keyboard is that? care to give the model name?
w00t! to the more impressions on the ads!
as for your new setup.. what’s with that wire on the keyboard?
Nice setup. I tried one of those keyboards in Best Buy this week. Amazing! I wish I had a Mac.
Nice set-up there Cow. Also love the comments plugin with Country, OS and Browser … what’s it called??
Nice one Mr Moo that iMac looks the business.
@ Mr Rajawang - it is one of the new Mac Keyboards
i guess the plugins is here> http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/02/26/wordpress-plugins-for-comments/
All I know is that it sure beats my setup with my keyboard in my lap, in bed with monitor on an old side table and cords everywhere… eww, need a desk.. and a life
Nice workplace you have there, it’s very good to have two monitors but do you find it distracting (I mean blogging and IM and e-mailing at the same time)?
super sexy keyboard.. anyone with any idea I can get one online?
That is an awesome set up! I am currently on my kitchen table and not as neat as yours. I love your keyboard!
@ Kenneth
You can get them from the Apple store online

That desk is very clean, Id go crazy if I knew where everything was.
That is one neat desk. My desk has paper with php written on it all over the place. Do you know the CTR generally on those ads?
To whomever is interested in what plugin is providing the nifty little country flags etc, http://www.firestats.cc
Oh it’s FireStats… I’ve been using that plugin for months now, but never had the comments option turned on. Thanks.
Nice setup!
